I want my sons to remember their childhoods as I will, filled with Curious George, the adventures of Paddington and Berenstain Bears and of learning to read with the whimsy of Dr. Seuss or the soft silliness of Frog and Toad.
She has said, “I cherish the time I have spent reading with my kids - cozied up together, experiencing stories through their eyes. Although our shelves were stocked full of books, they were (and are) the one thing I could never refuse or resist buying.”
She goes on, “I will forever hold dear memories of chubby little fingers poking through "Mommy's ring" of Pat the Bunny, or kissing sleepy, sweet-smelling little heads while we read Goodnight Moon together. I want my sons to remember their childhoods as I will, filled with Curious George, the adventures of Paddington and Berenstain Bears and of learning to read with the whimsy of Dr. Seuss or the soft silliness of Frog and Toad.”
